| book description |

A landmark text in design discourse for a world desperately in need of redesign-back in print What good is design? In a world facing social unrest, political tribalism, and impending ecological doom, Tom\u00e1s Maldonado poses philosophical inquiries into the role design plays during a moment of crisis and analyzes what \u201cdesign\u201d might mean as an ever-enlarging compass beyond stylization of specific objects. He discusses how design is both influenced by and central to ecological crisis. Written as a kind of obituary to the Modern movement\u2019s wave of failed \u201cconcrete utopias,\u201d Maldonado combines philosophy, sociology, radical countercultural thought, and the ecological sciences into a polemic that recenters design in the human environment.
